The program creates 2D barcode symbols of Data Matrix, Aztec and QR code in vector graphic.
The top left symbol is created by a minimized path shape, the top right (if present) by many single squares.
The QR barcode in the middle is a transparent GIF image and the bottom Aztec barcode is a canvas PNG.
An additional SVG filter is applied on the first barcode.
The blocks (cells) of all symbols are equal in size.
+ Creates Data Matrix in square or rectangular pattern.
+ Creates QR or micro QR barcode symbols.
+ Creates Aztec, compact Aztec or Aztec rune barcodes.
+ Scalable Vector Graphic or PNG/GIF pixel image output.
+ One short and compact program for all barcodes.
+ Available for office programs Excel, Access and Calc.
+ Automatic mode encoding and barcode size selection.
+ Algorithm could be easily adapted to individual requirements.
+ Free and open-source software program.
– no size optimization for mixed data types in one symbol.
– no handling of special codes like FNC1 or ECI.
Universal: runs on every browser, operating system or platform.
Flexible: outputs vector or pixel images in adjustable design.
Adaptable: modify or convert simple source code to your own desire.
The barcode program is free and open source software.
The algorithm is available as Jasvascript: barcode.js.
For MS Office it is available as Excel: barcode.xlsm and Access: barcode.accdb.
And for Open/LibreOffice it is available as Calc: barcode.ods.
Go do something cool with it.
